ProfileThe GEF is a 1990-founded, 1992 Rio-restructured multilateral fund — proposed by France in 1989, piloted with $1bn over its first three years by 27 countries, with the World Bank as trustee/administrator. It is now the largest public funder of environmental projects globally (>$27bn financed), governed by an Assembly, Council and Secretariat with 18 implementing agencies (including UNEP, UNDP and UNIDO — planetGOLD's own implementers) operating on multi-year replenishment cycles. The hub cites 28 GEF project pages as the primary funding-provenance record for planetGOLD's country projects.Single source
